New build - completed in time to see out the rest of summer.
Wheels are 650B .. (27.5") Frame is from a "Haro Beasley" Re-sprayed matte black .. Built up with a 70mm thomson stem and a lo-rise bar. 1x9 Set-up with 11-34 / 36t e13 c.ring. Fork is an X-fusion Velvet (100mm)
It feels awesome, I've only taken it around the park next to my house so far but it makes want to ride like a hooligan - front is easy to pop-up - manuals are a breeze. Jumping down stairs and all sorts. I usually build Racier bikes - with longer stems and In-line posts .. It's a nice change to have one so 'wheelable'
Gonna be back in Yorkshire (live in London at the mo) in July for a few blasts across Ilkley moor etc.
Sadly, the government has decreed my lawn an SSSI so I can't mow it (honest)
Looks nice, but odd rims? Also, shouldn't you have 650b written all over it, otherwise how will people notice?
Realman,
The front rim is a 35mm DH rim (but lightish) so it makes the tyre profile flatter/ better for cornering at speed - (no rolling over the side) It's also tubeless.
Rear Rim is much more XC - narrower for less contact pitch = more speed! - And built with Rev Race spokes. Front hub ProII / rear XTR.
The colour is a bit of fun ๐
you could have at least got the same colour rims! i like it though
That looks properly good!
very nice job. like it a lot.
really nice bike!
hey, could you please help?
where can I get 650b wheels?
please reply to gespin8 AT yahoo DOT gr
thanks!
Looks like something you threw together out of spares, the random splashes of colour don't work for me at all. As long as you like it.
